Natural wood veneer
Natural wood veneer
Many of our products are made with natural wood veneer with striking grain features and patterns. There may be slight variation in different grain for some products due to the natural nature of the material. Where possible we will make this extremely clear and feel free to specify your preferred option when purchasing and we will do our best to fulfil these wishes depending on remaining stock. All options are similarly beautiful though and will always be photographed!

Ishizu Pizza is a fictional Japanese pizza brand that captures the charm of small-town Japan and the futuristic vibe of 1950s American diners. It’s like stepping back in time to a place that’s lost to the mists of history.
Hirō Ishizu, the founder, returned to Japan in 1969 after 20 years in the USA. He brought back a passion for American-style pizza, rock and roll, rockets, and UFOs. Ishizu dreamed of opening his own pizza restaurant, just like the ones he worked in in New York and Roswell, New Mexico. In 1969, he opened his first pizzeria in Osaka and went on to build the biggest pizza franchise in Japan during the 70s and 80s. He became a household name and an integral part of Japanese society. Everyone who grew up remembers their first visit to ISHIZU PIZZA.
Over the years, ISHIZU PIZZA spread to many countries, including the UK and the USA, but it thrived most in Japan. Sadly, after Ishizu’s passing in 1984, the company started to decline. Most of the restaurants closed by 2000. But a few still exist, scattered around Japan and some abroad, clinging to life despite all odds. That’s where ISHIZU PIZZA Art comes in. We’re on a mission to find and document these last remaining ISHIZU PIZZA locations before they’re gone forever.
